CDS2015 Official Full Conference Proceedings (10/10/15) Date: Thursday, 08/Oct/2015 8:00am - 5:30pm Companion Conference: Cultural Diversity in Social Learning Session Chair: Cristine H. Legare, The University of Texas at Austin; [email protected] Session Chair: Tamar Kushnir, Cornell University; [email protected] The dearth of systematic psychological research outside of Western cultural contexts is a major impediment to theoretical progress in the study of social learning. Recent ethnographic and experimental research has demonstrated that cultural differences in social interaction, social cognition, and childrearing practices have profound effects on children’s learning. The effects occur both in the content of what children learn and in the processes by which new understanding is constructed. At the same time, there is also evidence for some fundamental similarities across cultures in children’s social learning strategies when acquiring the practices and beliefs of their culture. Developmental research on cross-cultural similarities and differences has the potential to address some of these critical OSU Room 035 gaps in the scientific understanding of social learning. The goal of this preconference is to gather together leading examples of empirical research that explore social learning strategies in childhood across a variety of cultural contexts and caregiving settings. We will discuss cutting edge research that draws on insights from a variety of disciplines – including developmental and cultural psychology, biology, cognitive and evolutionary anthropology, and education – with the goal of facilitating cross-fertilization within and across these disciplines. Our emphasis will be on international research that utilizes innovative developmental, cross-cultural, and mixed-methodological approaches to studying the ontogeny of human cultural learning.

Our goal is to discuss contributions of neuroimaging data to the study of cognitive development thus far, Elijah Pierce A and to consider the contexts and questions in which neuroscience data will be useful moving forward: when are developmental hypotheses best teased apart by looking under the hood?

Pruden, Florida International University; [email protected] This preconference will draw from both experts and emerging scholars interested in the science of spatial thinking, including developmental scientists, cognitive scientists, educational psychologists, linguists, and neuroscientists. The goal is to attract scientists (across different disciplines) interested in an integrative research approach to the science of spatial thinking, and thus, to create synergy between disciplines that normally do not collaborate. The preconference will: (1) highlight what we currently know about the development of spatial thinking both in and out of educational settings; (2) explore recent empirical advances on the ways to improve spatial thinking; (3) invite discussion about the Elijah Pierce B best ways to educate spatial thinking; (4) increase discourse on how to translate what we know about the development of children’s spatial thinking into effective interventions, curricula, and policy, and; (5) stimulate new research on the development of spatial thinking.

Video captures much of the richness and complexity of children’s behavior. But most developmental researchers don’t take advantage of all that video has to offer. The Databrary project, led by Karen Adolph and Rick Gilmore, provides the software, cyber-infrastructure, and policy framework to fulfill the promise of video and thereby accelerate the pace of discovery in developmental science. This free workshop will teach researchers—from principle investigators to undergraduates—how to exploit the richness inherent in children’s behavior by coding, sharing, and reusing research videos. We will show how Datavyu, a free video-coding tool, helps researchers to mine the richness of their videos. With the right tools, video coding can be easy, efficient, and enlightening. We will provide case study examples of how videos have been reused to address new Private Dining Room questions beyond the scope of the original study or outside the purview of the original researchers. In addition to research studies, attendees will learn how videos can be reused as illustrations in teaching, to see procedures and methods, to verify coding rules, and to provide inspiration and satisfy curiosity. Videos are valuable to other researchers and capable of yielding new insights into the causes and consequences of learning and development. Thus, we will urge attendees to consider openly sharing their videos among a community of like-minded researchers. We will describe how our policy framework alleviates concerns about participants’ privacy, how to obtain participants’ permission to share identifiable data and amend their IRB protocols, and how open sharing benefits the original data contributor with increased citations, attention, and prospects for federal funding. Attendees will learn how to use Databrary to manage their own studies and students, and to monitor progress in data collection and coding. Prior to open sharing, Databrary operates as a free, secure backup and lab server. Lab members and collaborators can easily access videos, which can be uploaded as they are collected. This “upload-as-you-go” functionality organizes and prepares appropriate videos for open sharing—only when the data contributor is ready—with merely the click of a button. Throughout the workshop, attendees will get hands-on experience exploring Databrary's functionality and datasets. Attendees will leave with in-depth understanding about how to code, reuse, and share video data with Datavyu and Databrary. 7:00pm - 9:00pm Welcome Reception and Registration Emerson Burkhart A Light hors d'oeuvres, a cash bar, and the company of colleagues and B 9:00pm - 11:00pm Student Pub Night Reconnect with old friends and colleagues, and meet some new ones.
